Poster Child

Time to pick the 2009 ISA Bass Bugger’s Poster Child

 

The last picture on the fly photo thread says pictures won’t get better though they might get dirtier. So I say it is time to pick the ISA Bass Bugger’s poster child for 2009. Indicate your selection in the poll. Though I don’t want to sway the results, I am hoping ISA members have the sense to choose inner beauty over the fleeting beauty of the obviously professional models. Though Eric’s peaceful Mona Lisa smile is intriguing, Jonn’s wisdom outshines it in that he seems to have had the sense to remove his plates before biting the rod. But, you pick.`

 

1 Pike Guy

 

 

2 Cobia Guy

 

 

3 Brookie Guy

 

 

4 Brownie Gal

 

 

6 Skoal Gal

 

 

7 Jonn

9 Tooter

 

 

10 Mike G

Since this IS the ISA, I think any pictures other than smallies should be disqualified. But, that's just my personal feeling.

I agree completely.

 

My vote goes for Brownie Gal.

[Mark K]

brownie gal.

 

Based on the unique abilty to balance objects while in that position. Leads a little to the imagination. Know what mean, eh?

 

Nudge, nudge... wink wink. Eh Squire?

[bjensen]

Brownie Gal is actually Rainbow Gal, sorry, I'm a trout freak. But...My vote goes to her!!! Her ability to balance rod, net, fish, and cleavage is outstanding!

i'm gonna keep my comments to myself, however, i will pick the 'brownie gal'.

[Fredmo]

So many of the candidates are disqualified by virtue of the species involved, I think skoal girl did it the safe way and left the fish out....undoubtedly the winner!

[Mike G]

BTW. Is there any way we can turn this into a fund raiser?

 

Also there is room for one more contestant if anyone is game for it.

[Kev-mo]

Brownie/Cutthroat Gal based on her overall balancing ability of everything Storm guy is a close second. Even though it was probably staged it looks like he went through the proverbial gauntlet to get that fish.

I agree with Fkyrod Miller & of the 3 that qualify one is too contrived & another too mucho macho& more appropos for the bass tourney crowd.That leaves Jonn.By the way whoever titled that one Brownie Girl doesn't know a brown trout from a rainbow/cuttbow.I've alwaya said that if beautiful girls were fish they'd all be rainbow trout.I defy anyone looking at that pic to say otherwise.

[Steve S.]

one is too contrived

 

I hope I got your vote then because it couldn't have been more spontaneous! All the credit goes to Don; there are not many contrived thoughts coming out of that brain.

She's got a nice tan and her clothes are brown. That's all.

 

BTW I agree on Jonn for reasons already stated.

[Norm M]

There's a fish in photo # 4 ????

 

I'd get back into guiding if all my clients looked like that. Unfortunately most of them looked like Joz.

[Mike G]

Looks like another pic has been added and the votes are flying toward it!

 

I am honored by the nomination and support I have received. I thank all my supporters. But, before anyone else wastes their vote, I have to say that I will not accept the title if I win. I admit that I take the inner beauty category hands down. Inner beauty is greatest where outer beauty is least. I also think I match up well in the wisdom category though proving that would require a standardized test. I fail in all the other categories. That is not a Smallmouth Bass. That is not a fly rod. I am not holding it in my mouth. There are others way more qualified than I to serve as poster child.

 

This being said, I resign from the race and instruct my supporters to switch their votes to Jonn.

[Jim J]

HA

[Mark P]

I'd say Brownie Gal but she isn't holding a Brown, it's a Bow.

[Mike G]

I'd say Brownie Gal but she isn't holding a Brown, it's a Bow.

 

Mark.

 

I think we closed this out with the prize going to Jonn a while ago, but you opinion is appreciated. Many of us did not notice that B. Gal was holding a fish.

[eugene f collins]

Can we have more than one poster child?

Technically Jonn was the 2009 poster child. So if you want to start the 2010 selection process, go for it.
